Personal injury is an area of the law concerning any physical injury, pain
and suffering, or property damages resulting from accidents or harm that
is caused by another third party's carelessness. If someone fails to exercise
reasonable care for the safety of themselves and others, then they can
be held accountable for the damages their negligence causes.

How Will A Personal Injury Claim Help Me?

A personal injury claim aims to recover monetary compensation to repay
you for your troubles as well as the medical expenses you sustained for
your injuries.

The person responsible for the accident is liable for damages caused by
their actions, which include:

Lost wages

Medical bills

Property repair

Emotional damage

Beyond seeking financial compensation for what happened to you, a personal
injury claim will afford you some peace of mind that you might not have
been able to find otherwise. Knowing that you are taking the first steps
towards your own recovery is a powerful and relieving feeling that becomes
even more beneficial when you take those first steps with a trusted Columbus
lawyer from our firm. Our goal is to make the entire process of filing
a personal injury claim as easy as possible for you.

We would be happy to help you with all phases of your injury claim or lawsuit, such as:

Assessing and evaluating your damages.

Reviewing your insurance policy.

Filing your injury claim with appropriate parties.

Taking matters to court if necessary.

Unique Forms of Personal Injury Cases

Not every personal injury claim is going to be as straightforward as it
appears on the surface. Sometimes matters become more intricate due to
unforeseen consequences or the sheer scale of the problem that caused
your injuries. If you should find yourself confronted with one of the
following unique forms of claims,
know that we are capable of providing the advanced and compassionate legal
representation you require, expect, and deserve.

Wrongful Death: In the event that an accident or incident has caused the death of your
loved one but caused no physical harm to you directly, you can still file
a personal injury claim, known as a wrongful death lawsuit. You will be
suing the liable party for monies to cover funeral and burial expenses,
wages that the decedent should have earned had the accident never occurred,
and for your own loss of companionship and emotional trauma.

Class Action: When a large group of people have been hurt by one source, a class action
may be filed to expedite the legal and litigation process. In a class
action, the multitude of plaintiffs are represented as one group by one
team of attorneys in just one trial. The verdict reached by the end of
the case is accepted and applied to all plaintiffs at once. Catastrophic
events, such as a plane or train crash, are examples of when a class action
would be filed.

Mass Tort: A mass tort is similar to a class action in that it seeks to move many
plaintiffs through the legal system quickly. It is unique, however, in
the way that once the initial mass tort is approved by a federal court,
each plaintiff will have their case sent back to their respective local
courts for further review. Additional evidence specific to each plaintiff
may be required to win their unique case. If many consumers were harmed
by a defect in a dangerous product, for example, a mass tort would be
necessary.

What You Should Do After Being in an Accident

Although your personal injury claim may seem like a matter reserved for
the courtroom, it actually begins the moment you are in an accident. In
every case – including
motorcycle,
truck, and vehicle accidents claims, as well as complex
medical malpractice claims – there are always a few steps you should take to ensure
that you are doing all you can to strengthen your chances of securing
maximum compensation later.

Always do the following if you were hurt in a preventable accident due
to someone else's negligence:

Contact emergency responders, including the police, if you think anyone
has been hurt. Check on all passengers in a vehicle collision.

Photograph the scene. In a
premises liability case where there were no witnesses, your pictures might be your best evidence.

Collect identifying and insurance information from everyone involved, including
manufacturer name in product liability cases.

Seek medical attention as soon as possible if you did not require emergency
aid. You may have an underlying injury and not know it.

Call an attorney. The sooner you get legal help, the stronger your case.
You should also assume that the liable party has done the same.
